Imagine waking up and looking out your bedroom window to lush, green trees and early morning light filtering through them, casting lumens that make the grass dance. You curl up in your bed, savoring the peace & quiet, allowing your body to fully wake before slowly making your way to your patio door. You open it and hear birds singing and watch as gray squirrels skip across the fallen pine needles on the forest bed. You take a few deep breaths, welcoming the day, and then make your way to the living room. Coffee has been made and you see options for breakfast set upon the counter. Women are laughing out on the enormous deck off of the living room– you see them through the floor to ceiling windows and your heart jumps to your throat because you settle into the beautiful truth that this is your reality for the next couple of days and nights.
Sisterhood. Peace. Ease. Joy. Healing.
You know that you’ll fully lean into this experience, welcome the expansion, & leave this place changed forever.

Who Is This Retreat For?
This retreat is an opportunity for the woman who longs to feel the energy & innocence of her inner child & the little girl she used to be…while she also craves to peacefully and wildly exist in the present moment, free to voice & indulge in her whims.
This woman is ready to revisit her past, to be here now, AND she is hungry to start a new chapter…to meet a whisper of the woman she is becoming.
This is a time for the woman who is ready to be held while going with the flow. The woman who needs nurturing, and who is just as likely to offer it to others.
She feels most at home in nature, but enjoys life’s luxuries. She craves deep conversation and is ready to take off the mask and peel back the layers.
This retreat is for the woman who needs rest and quiet but who also feels the urge to run free.
Where Is It?
A secluded hilltop retreat on 5 woodsy, yet landscaped acres in Glenford, OH.
You’ll climb up the driveway to a hilltop canopied with pine trees. A fairy tale forest abundant with ferns, lush greenery, & flowers surrounds the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home.
The living room, dining room, and kitchen look out to the scenic nature views through floor to ceiling windows. There’s a large deck off of the main level of the house, perfect for morning coffee, yoga, or candlelit chats under the stars.
The property has some small walking trails and a private, full size tennis court, as well as a fire pit for chilly nights.
The Vibe
Wild moon goddess. You will be embraced for all that you are, all that you used to be, and all that you wish to become. We’re rooting down so we may rise.
Meals
Women used to live together in villages– this retreat is a chance to reignite that part of ourselves.
Meals will be loosely planned & groceries provided, but we’ll create our little village together & dinner will be prepared as a collective. Breakfast can generally be made on your own as you wake, and there will grazing-friendly lunch offering, but you’re welcome and invited to bring extras & create your own as well.
Think simple, wholesome, & nourishing.
Flow
The days will have structure & guidance, but there will be plenty of down time to connect with other women or find a quiet spot to read, write, or rest. I am a big believer in spaciousness, flow, & allowing your brain and body the freedom to feel into what they desire. We live in a society and rhythm that is bursting at the seams with schedules & to dos. This retreat will be the opposite of that energy.
You can expect some combination of meditations, movement (both gentle & perhaps very playfully competitive, if spontaneity & the tennis courts take us there!), expression, reflection, & vision casting (via writing, discussion, etc). I hope to have someone come & facilitate yoga on the front deck as well!
Opportunity
Unlike any retreat I’ve come across, Root & Rise Retreat will include a Community Co-Creation component. What this means, is as a guest, you are invited & encouraged (though not pushed!) to offer something to the group of women you’ll be sharing your days with. This can be ANYTHING that speaks to you– a simple water coloring activity, a guided meditation (even one you didn’t create, but simply love), a casual yoga flow, an excerpt from a book, a writing exercise, a playful talent show, your favorite board game… you catch the drift. Leading up to the retreat, you’ll have a 1:1 with me and we can chat through this if you’d like!
I believe everyone has magic to offer…sometimes we’re so close to our genius or our gifts that we don’t even know how powerful they are until we get to share them with others. Remind yourself what you love, what you’re good at, and share it with other heart-led women. It can be something you’re just learning about & want to practice or it can be something that lit you up as a child. Lean into play & have fun with this! This retreat is an opportunity for you to develop and believe in your inner leadership. This is a powerful way to get to know other people and make deep, meaningful connections. This retreat is about the power of you, but also the power of sisterhood and community.
If this prospect makes you anxious, I encourage you to sit with that and ask yourself why. What makes you nervous? What are you fearful of? Ultimately, it’s entirely up to you whether or not you offer something to the group– I will not force you, nor will I make it an uncomfortable choice for you. It’s in your hands.
